        The end of the first part is: _MAKE=/usr/bin/ma
        The 'ke ' chars are missing. There are maybe more chars missing and it 
depends
        on the message.
        E.g. '_CC=/usr/' at the end of another message is missing 'bin/cc'

>How-To-Repeat:
        Create a long syslog message >1000 chars.
